Best donuts in town! The cinnamon rolls are huge, by far the most delicious donuts I've had in a long time! Loved the variety, had to get more than one. Staff is friendly, seating available inside the shop, and lots of parking . I'm definitely adding this place to my " favorite " list. Thank you for hooking it up!!!!
Despite arriving around midday when selections were more limited, Benson's donuts did not disappoint. Each member of our family still found a donut to suit their tastes. What sets these donuts apart is their remarkably light, airy texture. Such a satisfying treat that leaves you feeling pleasantly indulged rather than weighed down. Well worth stopping off in Benson for!
Read reviews and needed to try this place. I LOVE donuts. Everywhere I travel I look for and go to the local donut places. This morning it was quiet but there was only a small selection of donuts. I purchased 2 glaze, a lemon filled and the yummiest cream filled donut. All 4 were delicious but the cream filled was by far the best.
Just moved to this location and had to try Benson donuts because everybody says their donuts are fantastic. I purchased three donuts and literally wolf them down within minutes. Donuts were delicious. Service was friendly. Definitely a small town atmosphere which is definitely what I'm looking for. Highly recommend.! ??
Love this place! The owner is awesome! Donuts are delicious! Price is better than going anywhere else??
I finally decided to make the drive from Tombstone, AZ to see if they lived up to the hype...they didn't. After a 25 minute drive, I expected more than mediocre, barely filled donuts that went stale within 24 hours. They were good, but for the almost $50 I paid for 2 dozen donuts, they should last, have some filling and not be greasy. The fritters tasted like apple, but didn't actually have any fruit in them. All the filled donuts had maybe one bite of filling in them. The atmosphere was kind of dirty and
Bensons very own. Without a doubt Way Better than most. Had an euphoria of Delicious donuts made from scratch couldn't get better prices were great as well. Had good coffee very straight forward and courteous. Got two chocolate long johns three chocolate covered with cream filling. The coffee was bold and rich with flavor. Sugar and cream to personal preference. The donuts were crispy. Light delicate soft dough and you can tell that it is risen overnight bold delicious flavors with butter flavor is rich.
Hands down the best donuts you will ever have! Definitely an asset to this town for many years. The owner, May,is such a sweet and genuine person. I highly recommend this establishment
This place has to be the absolute best donuts shop in the world! I know I'm probably overstating because I have not been all over the world to try a donut but this place is the bomb! If you don't get there early, you probably will not get your special liking. They sell out quickly. I do not know the woman's name that works there and and is co-owner but she is very nice. Very helpful.
Staying at the KOA here in Benson and so glad this was right around the corner. Came in early as they said donuts sell quickly. Came in early and their display of donuts were like eye candy! They absolutely were amazing!! Nice and warm. Lovely couple who own this place. Definitely a must stop.
Always stop in at least once on our visits here, more if we can. Like the donut shops of our childhoods, wife's favorite old fashioned glazed in the country. I'm a pastry- a-holic and I agree, the best I've had.
Such good, delicious and fresh donuts. I was very impressed with the quality and tasty donuts. Much better than your typical chain donuts. I had the chocolate buttermilk donut and lemon filled powdered donut along with a cappuccino. They had a large variety of all types of donuts with toppings and serve fresh hot coffee. Definitely worth making the stop next time I?m passing through.
I have been going back and forth from Tucson to el paso tx for the last 10 years and always have to stop and get my fill of sweets from this donut shop!! I love every single thing that is the cases. LOL
Mae is always smiling and it is so good to see her open again! The Ham & Cheese Croissants are amazing for breakfast, lunch, or dinner!
Do not go to this donut shop!!! They tried to triple charge me than laugh me out when I didn?t want to pay their up charge to only certain customers. Bad atmosphere, service, and from others on the bus bad food and bad coffee. I came in on the greyhound and she tried to charge me the price of 3 small coffees when I only ordered one small coffee. Than told me in sassy voice you don?t have enough money, I left outta there quick as possible. I honestly would never stop here on my recognizance, but the greyhoun
Sent my husband to get me a donut even showed a picture t see if they have it and was given something totally different, I guess I'll be traveling to serria vista to get what I ask for,such a disappointment
Nice owner operator donut shop with a good variety of donuts.
Really amazing glazed donut. Very light shell and an impressive yeasted donut with good rise. Their blueberry and their chocolate donuts are good too, not too dry with an appropriate crumble you?d expect from a cake donut. The shop is unassuming but he lady at the front was so cute ??
Benson donut shop is a cool little stop along interstate 10 exit 304. May the owner runs the store personally and her husband makes the donuts very early every morning before they open. She is such a nice lady. Her Apple fritters and Maple old fashioneds are some of the best donuts ive ever had. The prices are very good too!
A nice local donut shop run by a friendly Cambodian American owner.
I've heard good things about Benson donuts. Perhaps I was there on an off day. I got an apple fritter, baked cinnamon roll and what was supposed to be a 'chocolate-fluff-filled' chocolate-iced pastry. The pastry was custard (not what I asked for), the cinnamon roll served to have been baked days before (it looked it too, but I hoped it might be better than it looked -- we specifically asked acquaintances best cinnamon rolls in Benson) and the apple fritter was bland. Not impressed with Benson Donuts. But th
Small town privately owned fresh daily amazing doughnuts and a place to eat em
When I saw "donuts" after filling up with gas nearby, I had the urge to stop in. It was midday, so the display case wasn't packed, but she still had one of my favorites: an old fashioned buttermilk bar. The best I've had in quite a while!
It is so nice to have a real bakery Close to home here in Benson And to have one that has excellent fluffy donut, This donut shop makes the best donuts I've eaten anywhere around here no more Walmart Donuts..... no comparison, I didn't even know they was there Except my dark grueling ladies told me about them I didn't realize there was such a thing because I don't go into town by that road Ocotillo so if she hadn't said something i would not have known she was there, I hope the donut shop stays around for
Went around 11:30 and the donuts were still so fresh! ?? She even filled a chocolate bar with Bavarian cream, for me! The apple fritters were so crispy, yet soft, on the inside and loaded with apple bits. We will definitely be back!
Really good donuts ??!
Best donut I?ve ever had!! All made fresh. I had the cream filled glazed. Yes, it?s a humble looking establishment, but proof that you shouldn?t judge a book by its cover. She is in a very small town, so not a lot of customers.....yet. I?m a road tripper from San Diego, so no bias here.
The glazed are my favorite but there isn't anything that's not amazing. I don't know what their secret it but this is the Best donut shop I've found in more than 5 states!
Oh you better go here! Best donut I have in a long time. Lady was sweet, she gave bakers dozen, I think. Butter milk are fabulous!
One of my donuts was definitely greasy. You could actually see the excess oil in it. My pastries were very dry and had very little filling. And the woman working there is not all that friendly.
Like everyone else has said?get off I-10 and get yourself some of this donut magic. Best donuts I?ve ever had, and I come from a city that has several world-renowned donut shops. They don?t hold a candle to these. I like my donuts plain and simple. The raised twist I had was pillowy, like biting into a soft cloud. The plain cake donut had the most delicate of crackly crusts, meaning it had been perfectly fried at just the right temperature. The donut itself was full of flavor and not god-awful sweet. Bo
Donuts are always fresh and if their out of what you want, they?ll make it for you in minutes. The woman is very polite, helpful and goes out of her way to get you what you want. Amazing this kind of service is available seven days a week. ??????
Amazing donuts! The cake donuts are not too ?cakey? and the frosting was perfectly fruity. The chocolate raised (for which I judge all donut places) were awesome. Nice chocolate flavor and the donut was light and crisp. Don?t let the yielding put you off, it was great!
Excellent donuts, everything from the apple fritters to the buttermilk pastries as well as the tigerpaws!! Yummy!! Have known the owner since the opening day. Very meticulous at their job,best donuts around,I Rather have these than KrispyKreme anyday!!
My husband and I have been going here for years. We live closer to Sierra Vista but whenever we're in Benson, we make a point to stop in for the Ham & Cheese croissants and a couple of doughnuts. The lady who runs it is always friendly and remembers us. I'm not always a pastry person but the doughnuts here are so light and fluffy and delicious, I never say no to one from Benson Doughnuts. My husband just brought me a ham & cheese croissant about an hour and a half ago, that was baked but intentionally not
Great donuts everytime I go in there. I luv that little donut shop , As well as many others. Keep up the great job!!!
It's a Dounut shop. Good donuts
Fairly new to the area and have been wanting to try Benson Donuts. Now after eating an apple fritter, and two custard filled donuts, my only regret is I didn't try them sooner. They were fantastic! Definitely won't be waiting so long until my next visit.
Yuck! Donuts looked good and others reviews favorable. But what we got was full of grease and awful. Sinkers and a bellyache. Had Apple fritter, cinnamon roll and Bavarian. Don?t recommend. Oh, and coffee not good either. Must be something out of the old west. Boiled in a pot and full of chicory.
Some of the nicest people I have ever met plus the donuts are to die for highly recommend!
The donuts here are the best I've had but during snow bird season you better get there early or you will miss out. It's a little hole in the wall place with 1 person working. A REALLY nice woman who recognizes you when you come in & knows what donut you like more than the rest. The ham & cheese croissants are sooooo delicious as well. I make it a point to get my boss donuts from here when he visits my work so it keeps him in a good mood these are his favorite as well
Best donuts in the state. I always make it a point to stop in for one of the best donuts I've ever had. Light flakey outside fresh & dreamy inside. Like a orgasm in your mouth. Place is clean fast always dress I to choose from. Best thing to ever come out of Benson.
Awesome donuts!!! Don't even bother with Walmart or Safeway donuts, they're both terrible. *Edit: 1 1/2 years later and I still think about these wonderful donuts.
Not only is this owned and operated by one of our own residents of Benson, the quality of the product is 10 out of 10 each and every time. When you walk in you are always met with a smile and feel welcomed, no matter how busy it is! Your business is welcomed at this establishment and you can feel it.
I got a ham and cheese croissant? there was no cheese inside. When I literally asked if there was for sure cheese inside? the woman behind the counter just stared at me and barely nodded?. This place definitely needs to be updated. Specially the outside. Their sign is spray painted. It wasnt very inviting.
If you are passing this place on the I-10.... And you didn't stop in... TURN AROUND. You are about to miss out on the best and most fresh donuts you have ever had. No joke. There is something about the love this lady pours into her work.
These donuts are so light and fluffy! They melt in your mouth! The owner is kind and friendly and is passionate about her donuts! Get a donut, a cup of coffee and sit a spell. Wonderful!!
Very unassuming place, but it has the best donuts in the world bar none. Stop here as you're passing by on I-10 (it's only a quarter mile off the highway). You will not be be disappointed.
Super little donut shop with a great selection of fresh pastries. The ham and cheese croissant is delicious and affordable. The apple fritters are huge and yummy. Best donuts in Benson!
Best home made donuts ever! I come here every chance we get! May makes the best. Love the apple fritters..and everything else. Best kept secret in Benson.
Good donuts. People were pretty nice as well. We met in the parking lot for azf&g and they were good to us
I love their donuts! Not very pleasing to the eye but were light, airy, and not too sweet! Random stop turned into a must stop next time!
We found this place by accident after an appointment in Benson? you can never go wrong with donuts made by Cambodians ?? tasty and fresh.
Never been here before, but staff was friendly and helpful. Donuts were delicious! Picked up a dozen to take to my cousin who was in the hospital.
My favorite place in Benson. They have the best donuts
Nondescript with a small sign. Easy access off of I-10. Fabulous donuts. Fast service. Inexpensive.
May is an amazing owner. Best donuts around. It's worth the trip and money.
Best homemade donuts. Stop by there everytime we are out in that area
These are the best donuts you will have. The orange cake donuts are amazing. Would also recommend the glazed twist. But I can promise you you will not be disappointed.
When I travel I-40, I time my route so I'm in Benson when they're open. Easy off, easy on at Exit 304. Get there early if you want a Great Fritter ??????
Best donuts in town! Great service open most of the day. Get there early although I've never not gotten what I've wanted.
We have driven four hours just to eat these, it isn't the first time and it won't be the last. Everything, from the coffee to the donuts and everything in between, is nothinf sort of incredible!
Had donuts there 6 months ago, we were just recounting this at dinner and we recalled how amazing these donuts were. We stayed in hotel across street and gave this a try and that was a chance encounter of memorable food.
Very good donuts made fresh every day. Owners are hard working and friendly.
My favorite donut place!! A sweet lady runs this and is always friendly with a great variety of fresh delicious donuts.
We went there for the very first time and oh so good and they have a place for you to sit and enjoy your donut and coffee. So very good ??
My wife and I absolutely loved these fresh donuts from scratch and everyone was super friendly. Highly suggest stopping by.
Good donuts wonderful service. Ham and cheese croissants are tasty. Regular clientele are friendly.
Small towns have the best surprises. Benson Donuts is a good example. The very best and freshest donuts ever!
Wonderful donuts and so many selections! Baked fresh every morning! Warning, these are addictive!!
Fresh donuts that are so good! I haven't had a donut in many years, what a way to break my "fast" with a wonderful apple fritter...thanks Benson Donuts!
Every time we're in the area we have to stop...diet or not diet! Donuts are made to perfection..just a slight crunch surrounding a perfect inside.
I love these donuts. Made fresh and homemade. Yummy ??
HIDDEN GEM...AMAZING DONUTS! I WISH I GOT A PICTURE BEFORE EVERYONE ATE THEM. THIS IS A MUST STOP. LIKE OTHERS SAID IF YOU PASSED BY TURN AROUND. EVERTHING WAS AMAZING. THE EARLIER YOU GO THE BETTER THE SELECTION. THE WOMEN BEHIND THE COUNTER WAS GREAT. DEFINITELY A MOM AND POP VIBE. WE WILL BE BACK NEXT TIME WE DRIVE THROUGH.
Great donuts. Worth the stop every time I come through. They're made from scratch and always fresh.
May is awesome and the reason we go there is to visit with her and have the best donuts anywhere. My favorite is the bears stuffed with apples and the fries ??
Best place in town for donuts in town for sure!! Nice and friendly lady there always takes great care of you!!
The Glace donuts are the best , fluffy, and great taste
